Linux Mind your manners, now. We're not saying that they do in general. There's just a good chap who has come up with a list in two parts of varied Linux distributions that he deems use-worthy. He also gives a short description about them and a link to their project websites. Some are the obvious Ubuntu, Gentoo, and other major players, but others you may or may not have heard of and may find useful. Enjoy reading part one from May of this year and part two that was published just recently in October. What are some of the perhaps more obscure Linux distributions that you've found useful and noteworthy?

...yes it's not a linux distro but lets not leave out OpenSolaris. The 2009.06 release was a fantastic desktop or laptop OS and the hardware support is much better. Time Slider for backup management. ZFS/BE for easy and safe upgrades. Rock solid. I am using the next dev branch right now and let me say the next release is another big improvement.
